Comments for Another Normal Day at Brazil Airports: Cancellations, Delays and Chaos at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 9 out of 9 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:08:36 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8491/54/#pc_10324 A small suggestion to all international tourists:DON'T COME HERE! You have no idea of the kind of chaos that reigns in Brazil's airspace.Unfortunately, there is no end in sight to the infernal situation of air traffic over here.The ones responsible don't give a rat's ass, telling us there is no crisis, and that the runway at Congonhas is in tip-top shape... OOPS, sorry, it just collapsed in the rain!! Oh, well, but that's per the norm, believe us, it IS up to international standards... The minister of tourism tells the passengers sleeping over at airport lines to "relax and enjoy it" , as in the infamous, "if rape is inevitable..." quip. The minister of defence, senile, blithering old coot, says he "doesen't see" the existence of a crisis, saying it is all an "emotional problem". The president's direct counselor mimes an on-camera "f--- you" to the passengers and those that call for governmental action on a crisis caused by inertia. If you have several seriously masochistic bones in your body, and want to turn vacations into a nightmare, then feel free to come over.Just be warned that flying here (IF you manage to take off) is sort of like going to the Bates Motel: sure, you check in. But will you check out?? Aviation here is seriously,SERIOUSLY F.U.B.A.R. - Brazilian Dude Wed, 25 Jul 2007 02:50:46 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8491/54/#pc_10321 Today two motor coachs transporting Pax for ( GOL Airlines) from Congonhas to Cumbica got lost and could not find the international airport! Hope the Brazilian pilots don't get lost finding their destination airports as well. Any of you that live in SP or have lived here knows that it is a 90% chance that getting into a taxi and expecting the driver to know the way to where you are going is not going to happen.If you don't know the way to show him you are screwed.and with the meter running full bore! - doggydaddy Wed, 25 Jul 2007 02:04:05 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8491/54/#pc_10320 "Or stated otherwise, Brazil is the biggest Topical Mud on Earth !!!! " I've got a natural spring fed bio mass right in my own back yard - water is cold though, only 49F. Probably not as big but might get way more popular if I add a couple tubs with a tank heating system for soaking in this natural wonder. I'd call it Topical Mud do Norte. Nothing but LED lit fake palm trees so calling "Tropical" is out of the question. ur SLPN. - Simpleton Wed, 25 Jul 2007 00:17:40 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8491/54/#pc_10319 this storie is like what is the best way to boil a toad we all have very good ideas , but getting congress best idea would be to let it rain and put all people unconcerned on a tam with bad revers thurs units and lets see how many want to get on the plane - forrest Brown Wed, 25 Jul 2007 00:14:22 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8491/54/#pc_10311 Problems have cascaded since last Tuesday when an Airbus 320 crashed in Congonhas, São Paulo and Brazil's busiest airport, killing, at the last count, 199 people. I wish these newsroom writer would wake up and look around them. This line should have been written: "Problems have cascaded since last years Gol/Legacy collission killled 174, and everyone said it was going to happen again but no on ein government cared" - Joáo Pinga Tue, 24 Jul 2007 22:22:14 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8491/54/#pc_10310 They are also not interested to be robbed, assaulted, raped and killed.....if you dont mind !!!!! - ch.c.
